Hi -- I'm Dave Novak. I was diagnosed with high-grade Myxoid Liposarcoma (stage 3) on my left thigh in July, 2008. I've completed 6 cycles of intensive chemotherapy, 25 rounds of radiation, surgery, and PT. This blog contains my full story (diagnosis - today) and seeks to educate, inform, and encourage new patients and their families.

I declare the worst of Round #5 over!

Well, I’m back home from the hospital now and feeling pretty good. (If not for the nasty hospital food, I’d probably be feeling great.) My white counts as of this morning are now almost normal and my neutrophil levels are out of the critical range, so I’m clearly on the way back up. And since the low neutrophils are typically the only serious problem I encounter during a cycle, I think it’s safe to say that the worst of Round #5 is behind me.
